Youth Development Coordinator
Are you ready to embark on an exciting journey where you’ll shape the lives of young people and contribute to building a stronger, more vibrant community?
The Y Southland is on the hunt for a dynamic and passionate Youth Development Coordinator to join our team.
This is a role with plenty of scope to make it your own.
You’ll lead the charge in driving youth development and leadership opportunities at the Y Southland. This includes creating and implementing innovative programmes, managing the Y-Squads initiative, and ensuring our youth development efforts align with the needs of young people in Murihiku. Your role will make a significant impact by empowering youth and helping them take charge of their future.
We’re looking for someone who has experience leading activities for young people, the confidence and capability to deliver engaging programmes and initiatives, strong organisational abilities, and excellent communication skills.
This role has it all – delivery, organisation, coordination, programme development and implementation, evaluation, reporting, networking and so much more. There is scope to bring your interests and strengths to the role in terms of programme design and to really make your mark on the youth development function at the Y Southland.
Ideally this will be a full-time, permanent position, however we are open to discussing options in terms of days and hours.
Working at the Y means you’ll get a paid day off on your birthday, a free Y Southland gym membership, and the opportunity to make a real and meaningful difference in the lives of hundreds of young people in Murihiku.
